Synopsis

The Einstein Theory of Relativity: A Concise Statement is a book written by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz in 1920. The book provides a brief and straightforward explanation of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, which revolutionized the field of physics in the early 20th century. Lorentz, a Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate, was a contemporary of Einstein and played a significant role in the development of the theory. In the book, Lorentz explains the basic concepts of relativity, including the relativity of time and space, the constancy of the speed of light, and the equivalence of mass and energy. He also discusses the implications of the theory for our understanding of the universe, including the nature of gravity and the behavior of objects in motion. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to the theory of relativity for students and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

Hendrik Anton Lorentz (18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect. He also derived the transformation equations subsequently used by Albert Einstein to describe space and time. He is among the first scientists who wrote an expose of Einstein's relativity theory.
